I collaborate with many investigators in the Department of Environmental Medicine and am a member of Rochester’s Environmental Health Sciences Center.One of my major collaborations is with the Seychelles Child Development Study, which examines the associations between prenatal and postnatal mercury exposure from maternal fish consumption and multiple outcomes in childhood and adolescence. Other major collaborations examine associations between air pollution and birth outcomes in Beijing, and between air pollution and cardiac outcomes in Rochester. I am the Principal Investigator for our Department’s T32 grant "Training in Environmental Health Biostatistics”.

I received an A.B. in Biology from Oberlin College, an M.S. in Natural Resources from Cornell University, and a Ph.D. in Statistics from Harvard University. Prior to coming to Rochester in 2002, I was a postdoctoral fellow and then a research associate in Biostatistics at Harvard School of Public Health. I am a member of the American Statistical Association and the International Biometric Society, and an elected member of the International Statistical Institute.
